BUTTERWORTH: The lack of an international sign language interpreter led to a no plea being recorded when a 54-year-old deaf and mute Korean pastor was charged with two counts of outraging the modesty of two men at a Magistrate court here.

Magistrate M. Kalaiarasi postponed the case to allow Jee Jon Hoon, to be read the charges again in international sign language to reinterpret Jee's charge and record a plea.
